Everything was waiting to see Madeline's joke, even Lina's eyes were filled with disdain.

Only Ariana pretended to reprimand her friend, "Daisy, don't speak like this. Miss Luna is the hostess of this house, not to mention it's her godmother's birthday. She will surely be able to present a more stunning gift."

The woman named Daisy raised her eyebrows and said, "Then please let Miss Luna show us the gift and let Everything see."

Her words were full of provocation, making people really unhappy to hear.

Just as Madeline was about to speak, Patrick stepped forward a few steps, hugged Madeline's waist in front of Everything, as if asserting his dominance.

"What can compare to the precious gift of the twins born to me and Madeline in the Patrick family? Isn't this the best gift for a mother?"

Patrick didn't mention this birthday banquet in advance, so he thought Madeline might not have prepared a gift.

Originally, he wanted to arrange something for Madeline, but after careful consideration, being able to clear the place for his mother's birthday banquet was already his biggest compromise.

As long as these people behave themselves, he can definitely turn a blind eye. But if they dare to bully around Madeline, he will not show mercy.

"Nam Xavier is right. Miss Luna has already given birth to two sons for the Patrick family. This gift is incomparable to any common worldly possession." Ariana did not dare to be presumptuous and decided to accept it.

However, just as she finished speaking, she heard Fu Nam Xavier coldly say, "Madeline is now the mother of my children, and also the wife for whom I have obtained a marriage certificate. Everything present here is a lady of status and nobility, don't you understand the basic etiquette?

Let me make it clear to Everything, there is no Miss Luna here, only Mrs. Patrick!"

With just yone sentence, Ariana's face turned unpleasant, and her friends who had come with her couldn't hide their embarrassment.

They were all Ariana's close friends, who had come to the banquet to support her.

Who would have thought that Patrick would speak so contemptuously, criticizing each and every one of them.

Originally, Madeline, who was filled with resentment while hiding in Patrick's arms, felt her anger dissipate considerably upon hearing the man's defense.

She had intended to start a world war, but it seemed there was no chance for it now.

"Oh Nam Xavier, you should understand the customs of prestigious families like ours. Even if you have a marriage certificate, if you don't hold a wedding banquet, people in our circles wouldn't know that you're married." Daisy finished speaking and turned to the others, asking, "Isn't that right, ladies?"

"Daisy is right!" The crowd echoed.

Patrick's eyes were cold, about to speak, but Lina spoke first, "Patrick, Mom doesn't expect you to give Mom any gifts. It's the thought that counts."

Although it seemed to be considerate of the two, it carried a hint of sarcasm.

Especially when Lina glanced at Madeline, the targeted sarcasm was even stronger.

Madeline pursed her lips. In fact, she had picked out a gift after leaving the Imperial Court Manor, which was why she was delayed in getting home.

She had originally intended to give it directly to Lina, but upon seeing the gift Ariana had given, she suddenly felt unable to present it.

"Right, gifts are not judged by size, it's the thought that counts," Ariana said.

Despite saying this, she still had a strong desire to see what gift Madeline had prepared, to embarrass her in front of Everything.

"I..." Madeline clenched her fists, hesitated for a moment in her heart, wondering whether to present the gift.

Patrick saw them being overbearing, her face becoming increasingly unpleasant, and she immediately wanted to reprimand them.

At this moment, a clear and cold voice came from outside.

"Madeline, the birthday gift prepared for you is here!"

As soon as the words fell, Everything turned around to see Bradley leading Freya's hand appearing at the door.

The combination of handsome man and beautiful woman was too eye-catching, especially when Everything knew Bradley's identity, they all looked at him with adoring eyes.

"Heart, Master Chen, how did you come?" Seeing Freya, Madeline couldn't hide her surprise.

Freya approached her and smiled, "You left the gift at Royal Court Manor, I brought it over for you."

Madeline was a bit confused at first, but after a moment, she realized that Freya had come to save her.

Feeling touched, she accepted the gift.

Freya turned to Bradley, who ignored the gaze of the socialite, walked over and handed a gift box to Freya, who in turn gave it to Madeline.

"Baby, you are truly my savior!" Taking the gift, Madeline whispered with a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Ariana's eyes sparkled with appraisal, then she gave a wink to Daisy beside her.

Daisy understood and sarcastically said, "Madame Patrick is really lucky. Judging from the packaging of Mrs. Patrick's gift, it must be a valuable treasure."

"Yes, Madame Patrick, open the gift quickly."

Everything wanted to see what it was, but they had to have Freya and Bradley personally deliver it.

Lina reluctantly took the gift box handed to her by Madeline, slowly opened the packaging, and when she saw what was inside lying horizontally, her pupils widened suddenly.

Seeing this, Ariana also leaned over to take a look, her eyes filled with the same shock.

Then the crowd burst into laughter, "Is this for real? Just a broken hairpin, so old-fashiyingd, probably bought from a street stall?"

With that, Everything laughed along.

Only Ariana's face was very ugly. She naturally knew that it was not an ordinary hairpin, and it was much more expensive than the gift she had given. Seeing Everything's ignorance, Freya just smiled and said nothing. At this time, Lina stood up uncontrollably, shaking her voice and asking, "Could it be... the jade hairpin worn by Empress Dowager Cixi?" Freya nodded, "Yes, it seems that Madame Patrick still has a good eye. She can tell the origin of this jade hairpin at a glance, unlike some people with no vision, who think it's just cheap goods at first glance." This statement undoubtedly struck Everything hard, leaving Daisy and others with red and then blue faces. Madeline, on the other hand, was even more shocked. The jade hairpin worn by Empress Dowager, isn't that a priceless antique? I didn't expect Freya to spend such a large sum in order to help herself! Meeting Madeline's grateful eyes, Freya slightly raised her lips. Acquiring this jade hairpin was a coincidence. Originally, she intended to give it to her master, but giving it to Lina today was also fine, teaching these green tea wastes with no vision a lesson, and incidentally slapping Lina's face.

Madeline heard that after tonight Mrs. Patrick is going to leave her long-time residence overseas. She specifically asked me to help her obtain this treasure, hoping that Mrs. Patrick would like it!

Lina not only liked it, but she absolutely loved it.

Previously, this treasure was auctiyingd off, and she wanted to buy it at a high price, but it was secretly taken by a mysterious person.

Until now, she has always felt regretful.

She never expected that in her lifetime, she would be lucky enough to obtain this treasure.
